CIGAR AND:MOUTHPIECE'THEREFOR- SPEGIFlIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 726,946, dated May 5 1903.

Application filed June 12, 1902. Serial No. 111,231. (No model.)

made with the filler or internal filling com:

posed of scrap -tobacco, as it is termed, which consists of comparatively small pieces Cigars made of scrap-filler have not been desirable mainly because the filler becomes loosened and enters the mouth of the smoker.

My invention has for its object to so construct a cigar that a scrap-filler may be used without the usual attendent disadvantages and at the same time produce anew and improved combined cigar and mouthpiece.

My invention therefore consists in the novelconstruction andcombination of partshereinafter described, and pointed "out in the claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side view of a cigar made in accordance'with myinvention; Fig. 2, an enlarged side elevation of a portion of the same with the interior wrapper removed; Fig. 3, an enlarged longitudinal section of the mouthpiece and a portion of the cigar, showing the securing strip or band for the cigar and mouthpiece; Fig. 4, a like view with the securing-strip removed, and Fig.5 a side ole"- vation of the mouthpiece. T

In making my cigar a bunch comprising the filler l and binder 2 is formed in the usual or any desired way, the end or tip 3 of the bunch being out off to expose the end of the filler. The filler may preferably be of scraptobacco, or, so far as some features of my invention are concerned, may be of long leaf or leaf of varying sizes. I The mouthpiece is formed of a tubularportion 4, preferably a hollow quill, with the end-turned over, as at 5, to provide a grip or stop, and to the other end a conical holder 6 is secured by extending the end 7 of the tube into the top or narrowed portion 8 of the holder and firmly securing them together by adhesive material. Any other form of holder can be used, providin g, of course, it has a suitable mouthpiece and receiving portion for the bunch. The tipj'end 9'o'f the bunch is then inserted into the holder, 6, preferably extending the same so that the open portion 3 is in close contact with the end7 of the tube 4, asshownin Fig.4.

To firmly secure the holder and bunch toget-her, I secure a striplOof'suitable material, preferably a piece'of tobacco-leaf, be-

, cause that will not affect thelfiavor of the cifiller'free themselves the tube being-small and compressible while in use will, effectually prevent such particles from entering the mouth of the user. The cigargisnext finished by applying an exterior wrapper, preferably of tobacco-leaf, as 11, so as to cover the bunch, the strip 10, theholder 6, and a portion of the tube 4. For this purpose the wrapper may be of any desired shape; but I prefer the usual strip or band wrapper, as shown in Fig. 1, which is out in the usual way, tucked in at the butt 12, and rolled about the bunch over the holder 6 and part of the tube 4 in the usual way, its tip 13 being secured by gum, thus fiuishingthe cigar, binding the holder which then forms part of the cigar, and leaving but a comparatively small portion of the tube exposed.

The entire cigar and the means "for securing it to the holder can be consumed right up to the holder 6. r i

From the foregoing it'will be clear that my invention maybe variously modifiedwithout departing from the spirit thereof.

I claim- 1. An article of the class described, comprising a cigar having a bunch consisting of a filler and binder, a mouthpiece into which the bunch is inserted, a wrapper and means comprising a sheet of material independent of said wrapper securing the bunch to the mouthpiece.

2. An article of the class described, comprising a cigar having a bunch, a mouthpiece into which the hunch is inserted, a wrapper, and a tobacco-strip independent of said wrapper securing the bunch to the mouthpiece.

3. An article of the class described, comprising a cigar having a bunch, a mouthpiece into which the hunch is inserted, a wrapper overlapping said mouthpiece, and fastened thereto, and a strip independent of said wrapper for securing the bunch to the mouthpiece.

4. A cigar comprising a bunch having an open end, a mouthpiece having a holder in which said open end is inserted, a strip covering the holder and adjacent part of the bunch, and a wrapper disposed over the bunch and holder.

5. A cigar comprising a bunch having a scrap-filler and an open end, combined with a mouthpiece comprising a holder receiving the open end and a tubular extension in line withand adjacent said open end, a strip of tobacco-leaf encircling apart of the bunch and holder, and an exterior wrapper for the bunch extending over the shoulder.

6. A cigar comprising a bunch having a scrap-filler, a binder, and an open end,

of the bunch and holder, and a wrapper of tobacco spirally disposed about the bunch, the strip, the holder, and extending over a part of the tubular extension.

8. A mouthpiece comprising a compressible tubular part and a conical holder, combined with an open-end cigar-bunch inserted in the holder, a strip of tobacco laid over the adjacent portion of the bunch and holder, and a wrapper disposed over the bunch, the strip, the holder, and a part of the tubular part for uniting them.

Signed in the city, county, and State of New York this 2d day of June, 1902.

JOSEPH KRAUS.
